It’s On Us: The Pac-12 Conference and Pac-12 Networks announced their support of a new sexual assault awareness campaign unveiled by the White House.

The campaign urges everyone to visit ItsOnUs.org to take the It’s On Us Pledge and make a personal commitment to being a part of the effort. • To recognize that non-consensual sex is sexual assault. • To identify situations in which sexual assault may occur. • To intervene in situations where consent has not or cannot be given. • To create an environment in which sexual assault is unacceptable and survivors are supported.
